My kids are on a bit of a peanut butter & jelly kick (technically cashew butter and jelly). And we’re doing this pantry challenge/war on debt thing so once we ran through all the jellies in the house I decided to make some with some the fresh and frozen fruit we already had on […]
Paleo Fajitas
We love Mexican food. The whole family can eat together really easily with something like fajitas. We make a big base of fajita veggies and then, if anyone wants meat, we add that in. It makes eating with vegetarians, meat-eaters and kids really simple. This paleo fajitas recipe is our new favorite and it’s super […]
Lentil Quinoa with Curry Tomato Sauce
I’m doing this 21-day cleanse thing and I am not supposed to eat meat or beans (or dairy or grains), but I can eat lentils. I noticed my iron was low (familiar symptoms when it gets low) so I searched around to find out what I could currently eat that would boost my iron. Quinoa […]
Slow Cooker Dal Makhani
Slow Cooker Dal Makhani and it’s just as delicious (if not better) than the restaurant variety? Yes, please! We’re doing the War on Debt still so we’re on a restaurant moratorium. I’m missing Indian food. Even though I’ve made a few Indian dishes at home, it’s never quite the same. So I thought about what […]
Banana Oat Bread: 3 Ways
You know I miss my bread. But just before I had to put the kibosh on the grains, I had these beautiful banana oat bread treats at a party at our house. They were amazing. I miss them. I even baked them in three ways: muffins, mini muffins and mini loaves. So much fun! I […]
Moroccan Roasted Cauliflower
I went to a weekend conference recently in Orlando and met friends for dinner at a sort of modern Cuban tapas place called Cafe Tu Tu Tango. We ordered a couple things each and my favorite was Moroccan Roasted Cauliflower. It was fantastic. The cafe version included agave syrup and crushed almonds, but I left […]
Paleo Pancakes
So, horror of horrors (especially during a pantry challenge), I can’t eat grains or dairy right now. Or sugars for that matter, but that’s pretty easy. So, alas, “normal” pancakes are out. But I remember trying paleo pancakes and liking them, so I figured I’d give those another shot. Bananas and eggs are the only […]
Sweet Potato Nachos
Holy moly it’s tough to go grain and dairy free when you’re already mostly vegetarian. Like, what do you eat? Seriously. So far I’m living on fruits, vegetables and bacon. It’s not bad. Sweet potatoes are my new BFF, especially my newly crafted sweet potato nachos. I missed nachos so much I had to figure […]
Easy Peppermint Fudge Recipe
My dad loves to make fudge. But his recipe calls for a microwave, which we don’t own. So, I searched around for a good recipe that doesn’t use a microwave. Alas, I wasn’t satisfied, so I made my own. Enjoy the chocolates of my labor with this easy peppermint fudge recipe. We split this pan […]
Essential Oils Honey Lozenges
My girls are weird. They love lozenges. They often fake ticklish throats in an attempt to get them. It’s hilarious and ridiculous all at the same time. Lately, we’ve been making essential oils honey lozenges. I have to be REALLY sure our lozenges are good for them. No chemical ingredients. Many cough drops come filled with […]
